Haven't heard a word about what they think in the Netherlands, though. Anyone read Dutch blogs and getting a sense of the reaction there?

I'm thinking Twin Falls (Idaho's my state) had only main roads covered but now the coverage is more complete. <BR/><BR/>We love ya, Google (at least some of us do). So, how about some Street View love for Hawaii? ;-)<BR/><BR/>Oh, and good one, FlagFreak - your predictions were nearly right on the money. I had my doubts if we'd see a March update that included UK 'cuz some blogs were predicting "late spring" (one even said "later this year"). But we got our update and it's not even spring yet.claudia64https://www.blogger.com/profile/06681411526334465529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806372066750946729.post-79869574388361307442009-03-19T15:23:00.000-06:002009-03-19T15:23:00.000-06:00Well I decided to make an account so I wouldn't be...Well I decided to make an account so I wouldn't be just anonymous.<BR/><BR/>Claudia64 there is such a map from this blog. Too bad its just not real detailed http://streetviewstuff.blogspot.com/2008/12/whoa.html . South dakota and the UP of Michigan clerly have more coverage. I still think that there are many areas on the map on that only had a highway or two covered that now have every street in the town covered. But, this makes it clear that at least some parts of US have more coverage. I still some of New Zealond and Aurailia got more coverage. Once again towns that only seemed to have highways covered now have all the side streets. <BR/><BR/>I don't have any examples to give cause I can't remember off the top of my head i'm just glad I found real proof that US street view has been expanded too.Drayeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552798721651832551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806372066750946729.post-44914840282234938742009-03-19T12:15:00.000-06:002009-03-19T12:15:00.000-06:00Ahhh, the UK on Street View, finally!

I can die happy now. <BR/><BR/>I agree that the U.S. looks like it has more coverage and like you, Anonymous No. 1, I can't quite figure out where. I wish there was an image somewhere of what it looked like before last night's updaet.claudia64https://www.blogger.com/profile/06681411526334465529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806372066750946729.post-21354063903969145582009-03-19T05:48:00.000-06:002009-03-19T05:48:00.000-06:00Yay!
